I remember loving the study of Greek mythology when I was in middle school. My teacher was tough but let us do fun projects, and the stories were fascinating. I’ve been looking forward to teaching my own kids about Ancient Greece and including those myths and projects. Unfortunately, when I sat down to do some… Continue reading Project Passport World History Studies by Home School in the Woods – Review

Exploring Creation with Anatomy & Physiology by Apologia – Review
My people love science – like, really love science. So much so that My Little Man has been asking me to buy Apologia textbooks for him to read for fun over the past few years – but we’ve never had the chance to see the whole program.

“Princess Cut” – Review
Our culture makes a big deal about having significant others at very young ages.

Hunt…hunt ….. peck … hunt… peck…. And so it goes. Watching my kids try to type their special school projects and emails to friends was painful.
